Simon Pegg

One of the most eagerly awaited films of next year for movie geeks everywhere has to be 'The World's End,' from the British team of Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg. Now Wright and Pegg are starting to talk about the project some more in intriguing terms.

Who doesn't love Simon Pegg? The answer: no one. Only bad people don't like Simon Pegg. Therefore, any Simon Pegg-related news is cause for celebration. Fresh out of Cannes, Pegg is set to star in 'Hector and the Search For Happiness.'

Last we heard from Edgar Wright, he was hired to adapt 'The Night Stalker' for Johnny Depp. But he'd also teased that he and Simon Pegg were writing the third film in their Cornetto Trilogy 'The World's End.' Pegg has been shooting 'Star Trek 2' (but he just wrapped), so it was unknown when the film would be coming. Now we know, they've got a September start date with a planned Spring 2013 release

The world has been waiting patiently for the next film from director Edgar Wright and actor/writer Simon Pegg. But there comes a time when we're going to stop being so patient.  Pegg, off filming 'Star Trek 2' for J.J. Abrams, took a break to update his fans on the status of 'The World's End', their follow-up to 'Shaun of the Dead' and 'Hot Fuzz.' And?

Boy, that Simon Pegg has his hands in a lot of different cookie jars these days.  One day he's throwing  his voice to one of the most dangerous bounty hunters in the galaxy for 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars,' the next it's back to beaming up for 'Star Trek 2,' so where might the UK funnyman pop up next? Back in time?  Well, that's one frontier Pegg has never boldly gone before.

Don't tell J.J. Abrams, but it looks like his 'Star Trek's Scotty has defected from the Trekkies to the realm of 'Star Wars!'
